In the crowd, Zhou Zhao raised his head slightly, wanting to show that there was no problem with Zhu Houxi's edict, which was much better than he imagined.

But he found that Zhu Houxi was not waiting for his prompt.

Now Zhu Houxi looked at the edict and the golden talisman in front of him, his expression was unprecedentedly solemn and solemn, and there was a faint sense of sacredness.

Zhu Houxi didn't speak, and the others still knelt.

The oppressive atmosphere also breeds majesty.

"Hold the pain Fang Yin." Zhu Houxi finally opened his mouth slowly, and the first sentence said that he was originally in the filial piety period, "I am sad to hear that the emperor's brother is in a big way." There is a testament, and the affairs of the sect and society dare not be refused. ”

Reading it word by word, he stretched out his hands to take down the edict and took the golden talisman in his hand again.

When everyone looked up, they saw that he was already holding the edict in one hand and holding the golden talisman in the other hand and slowly walking towards the throne.

After turning around, he sat down, and the others immediately took the lead to pay homage to the emperor.

"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Listening to the mountain in the hall shouting long live, Zhu Houxi pinched the golden talisman in his hand hard.

From this moment on, although he has not officially ascended the throne, he can be regarded as a great tomorrow.

There was excitement in his heart, but something engraved in his soul also raised a heavy responsibility in his heart.

"Your Highness." After paying homage, Prince Liang did not change his words for the time being, and was the first to step forward and say, "The escort officers and soldiers will arrive in a few days, and the date of entering Beijing to succeed to the throne, the palace attendants need to be determined as soon as possible." ”

……

Xiao ascended the throne over, and the next thing was not attended by local officials in Huguang.

In the palace, Zhang Zuo went to Zhang Luo to arrange a banquet at noon. Although Prince Liang and the others had to determine when they could set off and which people from the palace would enter Beijing together, they were not in a hurry after all.

Zhu Houxi wants to go to the family temple to pay homage, which is reasonable.

Xie Changjie was arranged by Zhu Houxi to entertain everyone first, and Zhou Zhao was also accompanied by him.

Zhu Houxi, who was holding the edict, already had a mental number: he had long paid attention to the wording in the edict, and Zhu Houyu knew where the key was as soon as he heard it.

Huang Jin accompanied him and came out from the north gate of the Carrier Palace, directly in front of him was Qingyun Palace, and then to the north was the Inner Palace of the Palace.

The Longqing Hall of the family temple is located in the northeast of the carrier hall, and after Zhu Houxi arrived in the family temple, he took out the edict and looked at it carefully after bowing silently.

The key message is a few words: the eldest son of the king, the eldest brother and the last brother, and the heir to the throne.

There is no explicit mention of the words of the heir to Emperor Hyojong.

After Zhu Houxi paid tribute to his father in the family temple, when he went out, the Jiang family and the Wang family, as well as the two sisters Zhu Qingyuan and Zhu Qingyi, were waiting there.

As a princess, of course, the Jiang family can also enter the family temple. But for such a big event today, it is more formal for my son to go in and pay tribute.

Zhu Houyu smiled when he saw them: "Go to the Chunyi Palace." ”

He was only the prince of the king before, and he originally lived in the prince's mansion in the northeast of the palace. After his father's death, he moved into Junichi-den. This was originally the old study of King Xingxian, and it was also regarded as a residence in the palace, and Zhu Houxi had a lot of books here, which was convenient.

After sitting down in the main hall of the Chunyi Palace, the Wang family looked cringe, and the two sisters Zhu Qingyuan were more excited, only the Jiang family asked: "The edict ...... What do you think? ”

"Huang Jin, go and invite Zhou Jishan to come first, and then let Xie Changshi and Zhang Fengzheng invite everyone from the Fengying Group to my dormitory first, and then the main seat will be placed here. By the way, there is also Lu Dian. ”

Huang Jin understood the meaning when he heard this, and ran out smartly.

Only then did Zhu Houxi say to Jiang: "Well, the edict is here." ”

He handed it over casually, but Jiang Shi felt very hot and didn't dare to take it: "You tell your mother that it is!" ”

Zhu Houxi pondered for a moment: "The imperial brother ordered me to offer the emperor's son and heir to the throne of the emperor, the mother concubine, and did not explicitly mention the matter of the heir. In this case, although there will certainly be disputes, the son already has a great position. ”

Jiang Shi was overjoyed: "You really said that?" ”

Zhu Houxi smiled and nodded: "It should be a few days before we leave, my son will go to the capital first, and then send someone to welcome his mother and concubine into Beijing after he has settled down on the throne." Mother, among the people who accompanied you to Beijing, you also have to help your son choose a group of capable female envoys. When he arrives in the palace, he has to use the people around him first. ”

There will naturally be disputes, but then there is no need for Jiang Shi to worry about it first.

Zhu Houxi is not ready to attack now.

"Of course! Of course! Jiang Shi nodded again and again, and then asked, "Wang'er, what is it now...... Did Qingyuan and Qingyi become princesses? ”

Four expectant and excited eyes all looked at him, and Zhu Houxi nodded with a smile: "Of course it is, so sister, you don't have to worry about your marriage." Don't worry, I won't choose someone you don't like to be your colt in order to woo someone. Qingyi is still young and not in a hurry. ”

Zhu Qingyuan's face suddenly turned red with shame.

The county lord's guests are basically selected locally, but the princess's concubine is different.

After the heroes, the sons of the family, the imagination is naturally much larger.

In this way, the Huaichun girl was pulled by the Jiang family in joy to say goodbye and return to the inner palace, and Zhu Houzhao sat there waiting for someone.

It was Zhou Zhao who arrived first, and he was about to speak, when Zhu Houxi said: "Master Zhou doesn't have to stand up first. In the edict, it is clear that I am the heir to the throne of the son of King Xingxian. Since receiving the edict is justified, the controversy is not in a hurry at this moment, let's talk about it in the suburbs of Beijing! ”

Zhou Zhao nodded with satisfaction: "Your Highness really saw it, and the minister was about to remind Your Highness." ”

"Since my identity is different, Master Zhou will welcome me to my study on my behalf."

Hearing the sound of small broken steps that had already sounded outside the Chunyi Palace, Zhu Houxi knew that this was the footsteps of the other little eunuchs under the Cheng Division, and they had to come over to serve and arrange first.

Zhu Houxi's study is located on the east side of the Chunyi Hall, and it has been expanded on the basis of the original, like a small library.

He wasn't separated by bookshelves or bogu shelves, the spacious hall was carpeted, and sometimes there was a place to do push-ups or something when he was tired of reading.

In the past year or so, the most he has done is to ask Huang Jin to help him search for all kinds of books he needs.

When a little eunuch from the dining room arrived in the study, he respectfully asked, "Your Majesty, are you here to ask about politics?" I don't know how many ...... to prepare."

Zhu Houxi laughed when he heard this: "Don't mess with the rules, I haven't ascended the throne yet, so I'm still calling Your Highness." You don't need to set up a seat, just stand and talk, just prepare tea in the side hall, what are more than ten people sitting here? Crowded. ”

“…… Your Highness forgives your sins. The little eunuch trembled.

Zhu Houxi smiled and waved his hand, it was normal for the people around him to be excited.

This is really a person who has ascended to heaven, although the level under the original prince is not low.

Zhu Houxi stood in front of his desk and began to clean up, mainly putting away his usual pen.

It didn't take long for footsteps to be heard behind him.

Zhu Houxi turned around and saw that it was Liang Chu who walked in front first, and Xie Changjie who accompanied him and led the way with a smile.

"This is His Highness's study?" Liang Chu looked at the hall-like room and the bookshelves full of books against the wall with some strange curiosity.

"The first king often lived here, and after it was passed to me, the pattern moved."

At this moment, no matter what Zhu Houyu says, those of them who don't know much about Zhu Houyu will definitely think a little more.

This word seems to mean something.

"It's been a long journey, and then you can rest in the palace for a few days." Zhu Houxi turned around to face the desk, "There are no good objects in the palace, and I remember your meritorious work." I'm leaving now.,It doesn't seem necessary to bring some things that you've been using.,I hope you don't dislike it.。 ”

“…… His Royal Highness said seriously, and the ministers did not dare to speak about the things within their duties, let alone be rewarded. Liang Chu saw that there were no seats in the study, and thought that the heir was going to pose with them, but he didn't expect it to be a reward.

Zhu Houxi had already taken a blue and white dragon pattern pen holder and walked in front of Xu Guangzuo: "The Guogong family has been a big Ming pillar stone for generations, and with this frame to support, my Zhu family's Zhu pen is steady." ”

“…… Minister, His Royal Highness Xie is rewarded, and I dare not take it seriously. Although it was just a blue and white porcelain pen holder, Xu Guangzuo was very moved and down-to-earth when he heard this.

Zhu Houxi smiled at him, returned to the desk and picked up a bamboo arm rest engraved with red paint, and walked to Cui Yuan: "Princess Shang, it's like this arm rest under your wrist, which saves the Zhu family a lot of effort for their daughter." The colt has worked hard, but is my aunt okay? ”

“…… His Royal Highness Lao remembered that the eldest princess was all right, and asked his ministers to greet His Royal Highness. Cui Yuan is holding a golden talisman, and his status as a colt is second only to the marquis and higher than the earl, which is a super treatment.

So Zhang Heling looked at Zhu Houxi, who returned to the desk.

Is it him next, or is it Liang Chu?

Unexpectedly, Zhu Houxi beckoned to Gu Dayong, Zhang Jin, and Wei Lin.

Zhang Heling, Liang Chu, and Mao Chengdeng's eyes changed slightly.
